Papacita 0 Report post Posted December 28, 2003 What do you think were the biggest disappointments of the year? For me, I'd say the botched Benoit/Rhyno feud (I had been looking forward to that feud all year, and they fucked it up), Booker T and RVD not winning the World Title, and the HBK/Y2J feud (they had a nice storyline and a really good match, but something was missing. Plus, they REALLY needed to have a third match between those two in order to have a clear and decisive winner of the feud). Any others? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Anglesault Report post Posted December 28, 2003 Kurt vs. Brock. The feud was a total disaster and the matches were a let down Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanadianChris 0 Report post Posted December 28, 2003 Booker T not just losing to HHH at WrestleMania, but being made to look like a chump by HHH throughout the feud, and being forced to sit through HHH's racist promo. ESPECIALLY after The Rock put him over in the battle royal the night after No Way Out. I miss The Rock. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest PowerPB13 Report post Posted December 28, 2003 (edited) What do you think were the biggest disappointments of the year? You mean besides everything? I mean, seriously, I've taken a pass on all of the "best-of-2003" shows in the past week or so because there was literally NOTHING that happened in WWE in 2003 that I would want to watch a second time. -Patrick Edited December 28, 2003 by PowerPB13 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2GOLD 0 Report post Posted December 28, 2003 RAW not advancing one new superstar into the main event and making sure they look good even if they lose. Ultimo Dragon's misuse on Smackdown, wasn't shocking but was disappointing. Matt Hardy coming to RAW to do absolutely nothing. Goldust being fired. Triple H winning back the belt he made into a worthless piece of tin. I could go on...but I won't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

King Cucaracha 0 Report post Posted December 28, 2003 Angle's injury. Angle's face turn. Matt Hardy's lack of push. Ultimo Dragon. Spanky. London. WGTT. Rico. Not having Big Show defend the title. I agree he improved this year, yet that's killed him. Goldust about to be let go. Kane/Shane. Maven's forgotten heel turn. Goldberg's title reign. The wrestling deaths through the year. The bait and switch on Orton-Foley. The cheap finish to Orton/HBK. The cheap finish to Orton/HBK's Survivor Series part. Or in general, WWE botching the so-called 'god push' by not actually putting Orton over anyone clean who's worth a damn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kane unmasked (started well, turned to crap) Flair/HBK (should have yet them go farther than eight minutes) Goldust getting canned (WWE's lost) Mark Henry (Can't work worth a damn, worthless) Booker/RVD/Kane/Jericho/Flair jobbing to HHH cleanly The McMahon's fueding with each other Bob Holly's push Benoit having to work through horrible fueds.

As for the Gail Kim deal well, she did get injuried, and did'nt you know that spotfest wrestlers will never overshadow the main eventers unless they have the blessing of Undertaker or HHH.

The Czech Republic 0 Report post Posted December 28, 2003 I think the staggering number of deaths in the industry this year is a bigger disappointment than anything related to HHH. Debatable. -Patrick Okay let's debate. Curt Hennig's revival of popularity which spiraled into recurring drug and alcohol problems, loss of his job, and eventual death. Mike Hegstrand had cleaned up his life and done everything he could to atone for his messy past in order to live a happy existence with his family, only to die anyway. Stu Hart, responsible for so many of the wrestlers of the last fifteen years, and the patriarch of not just the Hart family, but also the wrestling industry with the loss of Lou Thesz. Plus, chalk up another tragedy for the Harts to deal with. Mike Lockwood's sudden death after his brief revival in NWA, which was possibly the most left-field death all year.

Dominating the show would be someone like HHH, who gets involved in segments and does something meaningful. Hell, at least two of those segments are 'where's Triple H at Ric?' Evolution segments.
